Episode 98 of the Professor Alex Volinsky podcast. Knitted NiTi mesh stretches with tissue-like superelasticity and cyclic softening, yet the effect lives in the knitted architecture, not the wire, whose loops slide and rearrange. Goal: criteria for mesh materials in soft-tissue reconstruction. Based on the paper: Softening Effects in Biological Tissues and NiTi Knitwear During Cyclic Loading; Y.F. Yasenchuk, E.S. Marchenko, S.V. Gunter, G.A. Baigonakova, O.V. Kokorev, A.A. Volinsky, E.B. Topolnitsky; Materials, 2021, Vol. 14. Hosts Elena and Marcus. AI-generated voices.
